Because the Condom Challenge (the challenge of breathing a condom) is pointless and dangerous

There is even a Wikipedia page of its own, dating back to history more than a decade ago. However, to read the papers of recent days, especially those overseas, the madness of the Condom-Snorting Challenge ̵

1; the challenge of breathing a condom out of the nostrils seems to be succeeding to lead out of the throat – it has just gone crazy in the last few days, with titles on the subject appeared on Usa today, New York Post, the Washington Post, just to name a few. Yet, as we said, and as the Overseas Newspapers point out, the story is old but it does not stop being dangerous .

The challenge The challenge itself As already mentioned, one should take a condom distribute it and put it in the nostrils and then bring it out of the mouth again (in a passage that has a nose essentially enclosing a throat). The challenge, of course, to be documented with many video ready to testify to have been successful in business . The practice dates back to at least 2007 although in 2013 popularity and attention was gained by the media when YouTuber Savannah Strong released a video in which she inhaled the condom which became popular as reported Acb News . To draw attention to today's challenge – there are people who are betting that it is now old – the notation of a parenting course in the San Antonio area of ​​Texas would be about the most dangerous trends for young people. Alcohol, drugs, but also viral challenges, said Stephen Enriquez, education expert, based on the idea that young people today do "everything for likes, visions and subscribers to their own channels" . Or, as Mashable points out, it could simply have reappeared a video of the old challenges and reignite the debate.

The Dangers to Health Whatever the Source of the Discussion Today, the dangers of the Condom Snorting Challenge have not changed in the past. For example, Bruce Y. Lee from the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health pages Forbes the only thing is possible to inhale from the nose – do you need to remember? – the aria with the exception of the nasal sprays, where medical conditions and indications provide. Everything else (including chocolate snuff) carries the risk of damaging the mucous membranes of the nasal cavity allergies infections or of larger objects that end up in the cavities preventing the ingress of air into them Nasal passages with danger of suffocation . As explained by Jennifer Villwock from the University of Kansas Medical Center at Inverse the condom might stimulate worms vomiting which in turn could make breathing more difficult without regard for it that the condom could mechanically block the airflow at the height of the trachea or even lower in the respiratory tract lung . An eventuality that can not be ruled out. In fact, Lee continues, there are cases in the accidental inhalation literature of a condom for oral sex that leads to pneumonia and lung collapse, as well as accidental ingestion of condoms and related appendicitis (randomly terminated a fragment in the appendage because condoms can break).

Certainly not the only one It certainly is not the only fashion on the internet crazy to breathe a condom. Neither the only condom theme reminiscent of one in which a condom filled with water is thrown over a person's head to hold it on the face, without the risk of breathlessness. Without much hesitation, we talked about the Tide Pods Challenge earlier this year, the challenge we witnessed on biting and chewing the Detergent Capsules . The social media then announced their intention to react to fashion by deleting the videos of the #TidePodsChallenge, the same does not seem to have happened for the time being with the condom-snatching challenge, even though some videos are actually unreachable.
